Virtual machine manager in blade server system and virtual machine processing method

Abstract

The invention discloses a virtual machine manager in a blade server system and a processing method. The blade server system also comprises a management module and at least one blade server, wherein the management module is connected with the at least one blade server through a system management bus; the virtual machine manager is connected with the at least one blade server through a network; the virtual machine manager comprises an abnormal event receiving module and a virtual machine management module, wherein the abnormal event receiving module is used for directly receiving the information of the hardware problem of the at least one blade server from the management module, and the virtual machine management module is used for sending a processing command to a virtual machine management program of the at least one blade server. The virtual machine manager of the blade server system can be used for fast and accurately acquiring and fast processing the hardware problem of the at least one blade server of the blade server system; and in addition, the invention can be used for extending the traditional virtual machine manager, thereby enabling the traditional virtual machine manager to manage more virtual machines.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to the computer field, and specifically relates to a virtual machine manager in a blade server system, a virtual machine processing method and a blade server system including the manager. Background technique [0002] At present, a large number of data centers require that the servers used have improved performance and practicability without increasing the physical space, cost and management complexity of the data center. Blade servers are developed to meet the needs of this data center. The blade server system integrates multiple blade servers into one system through a standard base, and the operating system and application software of each blade server are independent. [0003] figure 1 Schematically shows the management architecture of the blade server system. figure 1 In the blade server system 100, the base includes a management module 101, and the management module 101 controls all modules on the base, f...

At the same time, the method based on heartbeat detection is still inaccurate and unreliable.

[0006] In addition, in the existing virtual machine system, the number of servers that can be managed by a virtual machine manager as the host of the virtual machine is not unlimited. Here we take the most commonly used WMware as an example. The current version can only support about 200 A server as a virtual machine host and a maximum of 2000 virtual machines, considering a data center with 2000 or more servers, the virtual machine manager needs to establish connections to these 2000 or more servers as virtual machine hosts , manage thousands or even tens of thousands of virtual machines, maintain their real-time status, send management commands through connections, etc., which requires at least 10 virtual machine managers, which obviously needs to waste more resources; in addition, the current virtual machine The management system cannot customize specific backup and error recovery schemes for different events for each virtual machine
